DISTANCE COACHING PROGRAM

I offer a distance coaching program for people who want to train with me but aren’t able to do so in-person. The program is different from normal online training because I try to make it as “in-person” as possible.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

DISTANCE COACHING PROGRAM

1. The process starts with a conversation or video chat where we get to know each other and discuss your goals, injury history, past training history, nutrition.

2. From there, I will put together 2-5 day a week personalized program designed through the TrueCoach App.

3. I also ask that you send me videos of your training so I can make sure you’re doing everything correctly, especially on new exercises that you haven’t done before.

4. After the initial few weeks of ironing out the kinks and setting up foundations, we do regular check-ins to make sure you’re progressing properly and your training stays fresh and optimal. You can direct message me on the TrueCoach App anytime. I'm happy to help!

DISTANCE COACHING PROGRAM

With more people working out from home, I think this could be a great option to get as close to having a trainer as possible without having to go to the gym to see a trainer.

I require a three-month commitment because real results take time. I put a lot into the process and I expect my clients to, as well.

If you’re serious about the process, please fill out the contact form below and we then can hop on a call and see if it’s a good fit and go from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment do I need?

The minimal equipment to get started is a pair of dumbbells. My recommendations for a basic set up are: dumbbells or a kettlebell, a jump rope and something to use for pulling exercises like a pull up bar or TRX straps.

What if I need coaching help?

Feel free to reach out for coaching help, advice, tips, etc. You can direct message me on the TrueCoach App. I may also ask you to email, call me, or video chat.

How long are the workouts & how many days per week?

That is up to you and your schedule. It can take 10 minutes if you are just starting out or up to 1 hour. I recommend 2-5 days a week of training.

Why are you having me lift weights for fat loss?

The body adapts to steady-state cardio activities (running, walking, rowing, swimming, etc.) and begins burning fewer calories during these sessions. If your goal is to change your body composition, you need to incorporate resistance training into your fitness program.

Your best bet is to do both, weight training and cardio! So there is no need to choose one or the other. This balanced approach to exercise can not only help you to get closer to your weight loss goals, but it will also help you to keep you fit, healthy, and well.

What if I'm new to exercising?

No problem, I will have you start slowly and build up gradually.

How should I eat? What if I would like to lose weight?

How much time should I rest between sets when strength training?

Most people want to increase lean body mass and burn fat. Therefore, I tell them that 30 to 90 seconds allows the body to replenish energy stores so they don’t compromise their workout intensity or form, and can therefore trigger the most lean muscle growth.

For absolute strength purposes when performing large, barbell exercises, it’s best to rest two to five minutes. Absolute strength is not a goal for many of my clients, but I do train some clients to increase their one or three-rep maximum barbell deadlift and bench press.

When training for muscular endurance — which is more common in endurance athletes — rest periods during weightlifting typically sits around 15 to 30 seconds.

How much weight should I use when strength training?

Think about your rate of perceived exertion (RPE) on a scale of 1 to 10 to help determine the right weight. 1 being “chilling on the weight bench” and 10 being “I seriously can’t do one more rep”. Overall, you should be between a 6 and 9 when you are strength training, with your last set feeling substantially harder than your first. If a given exercise starts to feel easier than that, it’s time to increase weights until you’re back in that range. Tracking each workout and recording the amount of weight you use in the Truecoach App is helpful to getting stronger.

How do I cancel?

You can message me directly in the app and I will take care of your cancellation. If you prefer, you could also email your request to josh@neustrength.com.
